Chapter 1194: Reunion (7)
"Ah Mi’s grandmother is gravely injured and currently being treated in ’Red Thorn’s’ infirmary. Ah Mi and Dashan are worried about her, so they didn’t come with me. We agreed that once her condition stabilizes in a few days, Tan Yulin would bring Ah Mi and Dashan over."
An Yiqing let out a soft chuckle. "Master, master, did you hear about what happened that day from the branch manager?"
She sighed inwardly. It seemed calling "Master" so naturally would take her some time to get used to. But what truly surprised her was that during her journey to Xuandu City, what she had unknowingly been hearing about was herself. The Medicine Sect – it was actually her sect.
Truly, not recognizing one’s own family – even standing right at their doorstep, she still chose to walk away from it.
"I heard about it. At that time, I was busy looking for you, running around with the youngest one. I only caught a brief mention of it after I returned, but I didn’t pay much attention – I had no mind for other matters back then. Who would have thought that the esteemed guest was actually you, little girl! Where’s the medallion? Let me see it!"
An Yiqing nodded, unpacking her luggage and taking out the black token that Ah Mi had slipped into her pocket.
"This is the one. At the time, grandmother told me that when I found Medicine Sect, I just needed to show this medallion to you, and you’d understand."
Ye Chenghong carefully took the medallion from An Yiqing’s hands. The instant he laid eyes on it, his expression changed dramatically. When he saw the four large characters engraved on the back, "Situ Nanfeng," his entire demeanor became electrified with emotion.
"Girl Qing, are you sure this medallion was truly given to you by that grandmother of yours?"
"Yes, absolutely."
A look of disbelief filled Ye Chenghong’s gaze. Clutching the medallion tightly, he paced back and forth anxiously, circling several times before abruptly turning and leaving.
Before walking out, he left only one remark: "I’m going to ’Red Thorn’ to see an old friend. Girl Qing, get some good rest!"
After Ye Chenghong departed, An Yiqing chatted a bit longer with the An Family before being urged by everyone to head upstairs.
